This method permits the interrogation of hundreds of identical FBGs with low reflectivity in a single fiber, making the FBG sensors more applicable in the aerospace health monitoring engineering.
Up to now, various types of vision-based systems have been developed and applied in structural performance monitoring of engineering structures, however, seldom investigations are relevant to monitoring of structural dynamic characteristics.
Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of engineering structures potentially provides a convenient, cost-effective means of performing structural health monitoring.
There are no groundwater monitoring or engineering requirements for utilities that dump the ash on site, as most utilities do, the analysis says.
Piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers are increasingly used for monitoring various engineering structures.
Finally, it analyses the feasibility and advantages of using GPS technology in the dam deformation monitoring by engineering practice.
The opportunity for enzymes to 'meet' nanoparticles and nanomaterials is rapidly increasing due to growing demands for applications in nanomaterial design, environmental monitoring, biochemical engineering, and biomedicine.
Results could be further exploited in programs of resistance monitoring, genetic engineering, and crop protection for combating fungal resistance to fungicides.
The applications include navigation of trucks in fleet management, the guidance of construction machines to precise surveying, setting out, and monitoring of engineering structures.
Continuous monitoring of engineering structures provides a crucial alternative to assess its health condition as well as evaluate its safety throughout the whole service life.
Included is also a discussion about recent developments of biosensor systems and possibilities for in situ monitoring of engineering of multilayer systems based on macromolecules.
